Chocolate Bomba With Tiramisu Cream And Win A Trip To Italy With Lavazza

I am an Italophile (except when it comes to soccer!). Somewhere along the way I also became a Francophile but – Italy! Day dreaming ensues at the mere mention of that word. I have wanted to go to Tuscany forever and although I have never set foot in the country, I have my own impressions of what I can expect when I am there (thanks to the Internet!). Italy embodies good food, a simple rustic lifestyle, Jamie Oliver, giant …

Cacao Banana Bread With Strawberries

Regular readers of my blog know that I have been a champion of Loving Earth for the past few years after discovering their beautifully packaged products and being completely smitten by their logo (design nerd alert!). When they sent me a box of goodies to play with, I was thrilled at the opportunity to expand my superfood/whole food experiments beyond the cacao nib and chia seed bandwagon. There was a pack of mesquite powder in the box that intrigued …

Milk Chocolate Popcorn With Sprinkles

When I was growing up, we only had popcorn at the movies. Twice, maybe thrice a year. Life was simple. Yet, that was enough to fuse a strand of thought in my head. One that connected popcorn with movies. One that compels me to make a batch of popcorn when we have family movie afternoons or crave a tub of overly salty, often cold popcorn when we have a movie date at Event Cinemas. Quite honestly, the popcorn in …

The Valentine Smoothie And Healthy Smoothie 101

I have an addiction. I feed it at eight o’clock every morning. Long before I feed it, I am thinking about it. Wondering how it will make me feel. Today, I fed it as usual. My addiction. It made me feel voracious and larger than life. It felt indulgent and smooth and dark and sweet and consuming. When I was done, I felt satisfied and nourished. Like being bear hugged from behind and being swept off my …

Homemade Mocha Puffs And Breakfast In Bed For ELLE Australia

I remember doing impromptu one pan fry-ups in our pjs and sipping mugs of steaming coffee nestled in between still warm sheets on days when the sun had forgotten to rise and the chill in the air was just right (Quite hard to re-imagine that in the awful hot summer we seem to be having in Australia right now). But then kids happen and you want to set a good example and before long you are lecturing about the …

Lemon Chocolate Cheesecake Pots And How To Make Lemon Peel Powder

This has been my kitchen for 6 years. This is my kitchen this morning and has been for the past two weeks as I write the book. This little bench is like my island in the vast ocean. Everything I have, everything I know and everything I aspire to do all comes down to this little bench. From the chaos that prevails on this stainless steel counter, rises creativity. And occasionally, a sense of …

Chocolate Nutella Pots With Boozy Cream

This planet is a very special place. For a number of reasons. One of them is chocolate. And the other is egg. They both make men weak and women swoon, especially if they are molten and runny. How many brown and yellow things can boast of that? We can’t always buy a hug, but we sure can buy a little bit of chocolate or fry an egg. I thought hard and long about what ingredient was …
